Overview

Green supplements may be a way to get the nutrients found in green plants and herbs, that may not be standard in your everyday diet. Green supplements may appeal to you if you are looking for a healthier lifestyle. Most green supplements contain "super-food" sea greens like spirulina, chlorella, kelp, seaweed or algae. Greens such as barley grass, alfalfa and wheat grass may also be present along with beneficial herbs, vegetables and vitamins. Green supplements are available in liquid and capsule form. Consult with your doctor before adding green supplements to your diet.
